Interesting fact
The 5 Qirush / Piastres 1952 coin from Lebanon made of Aluminium weighing 1.0 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change in Lebanon's history. In 1952, Lebanon was still a young country, having gained its independence from France just four years earlier. The coin's design, which features a cedar tree and the Lebanese flag, reflects the country's desire for independence and self-determination. Additionally, the use of aluminum as the material for the coin was a deliberate choice made by the Lebanese government to promote the use of local resources and reduce the cost of production. This coin is a small but significant symbol of Lebanon's struggle for independence and its commitment to building a strong, self-sufficient economy.
